SAMPLING

Stratified sampling is a method in research where the population is divided into distinct subgroups, or strata, based on certain characteristics that are relevant
to the study. Within each stratum, a random sample is then independently selected, ensuring representation from all identified subgroups. This technique is
SYSTEMATIC
SAMPLING
Systematic sampling is a method of selecting individuals from a population at
regular intervals after a random start. In this approach, a fixed sampling interval is
established, and the researcher randomly selects a starting point within the
population. Subsequently, every kth element, where k is the sampling interval, is
included in the sample until the desired sample size is achieved. Systematic
sampling is straightforward and efficient, providing a systematic way to achieve a
representative sample without the need for extensive randomization. However, its
effectiveness relies on the assumption that the population is ordered in a way that
the sampling interval captures the underlying variability, and there is no periodic
pattern in the arrangement of the elements.
Simple random sampling is a basic and widely used method in research where
every individual in a population has an equal chance of being chosen for the
sample. In this approach, each element is selected independently and randomly
from the larger population, without any specific pattern or consideration of strata.
This method ensures that every possible combination of individuals has an equal
likelihood of being included, making it an unbiased and representative sampling
technique. Simple random sampling is particularly valuable when the population
is relatively homogenous and when researchers want to avoid potential biases
associated with other sampling methods. The key principle is that each member of
the population has an equal probability of being selected, promoting fairness and
reducing the risk of systematic errors in the sampling process.
